ALL alpacas, beef,

swine and rabbit
exhibitors must complete
this training by July 15.

4-H club members are more important than the project.

Project work is one of the best devices for developing young people.

To “Learn by Doing” is fundamental in any sound educational program
and is characteristic of the 4-H program.

4-H’ers should be their own best exhibit. This means in manners,
attitudes and courtesy, as well as appropriate dress and physical
appearance.

Competition is a part of life and should be recognized in 4-H as a human
trait, but competition requires careful planning and safeguards when
used as an educational device.

No 4-H award is worth sacrificing the reputation of a 4-H member or
leader.

A blue ribbon 4-H’er with a red ribbon exhibit is more desirable than a
red ribbon 4-H’er with a blue ribbon exhibit.

Our job is to teach 4-H members how to think, not what to think.
